Introduction

This video provides instructions on how to resolve a High Venous Pressure alarm on the B. Braun OMNI® system. It details troubleshooting steps and procedures to reset the alarm and restore normal operation.

Key Takeaways

• A High Venous Pressure alarm can only be reset if the venous pressure falls below 350 mm Hg.
• Do not press the blood pump or therapy button if the alarm is triggered.
• The alarm can be resolved by releasing pressure from the venous chamber using a syringe, followed by resetting the alarm.
• If blood is present in the syringe after pressure release, it should be returned to the venous chamber using the patient care icon and the blue clamp.
• If blood is in the infusion port, saline should be used to clear it before resetting the alarm. Adjusting the effluent pressure line may also be necessary to lower venous pressure.

in case of a High Venus pressure alarm even if the root cause of the alarm has been solved alarm can only be reset if the Venus pressure Falls below 350 mm of mercury do not press the blood pump or the therapy button on the bottom right corner of the screen make sure that the hydrophobic filter connected to the Venus pressure sensor connector is Dr [Music] D to release the High Venus pressure within the circuit locate the infusion Port of the Venus chamber with blue clamp and blue cap ensure that the blue clamp is closed remove the blue cap connect the infusion port to an empty 30 to 50 ml syringe with fully inserted plunger open the blue clamp for 1 to 2 seconds to release the pressure into the syringe the plunger will be pushed out automatically close the blue clamp when the plunger reaches approximately 10 to 15 mL check the Venus pressure displayed on the screen if it is still above 350 mm of mercury open the blue clamp again to release the pressure into the syringe close the blue clamp once the Venus pressure has fallen below 350 50 mm of mercury press reset alarm the blood pump will restart automatically in case there is blood in the syringe and shall be returned press the patient care icon at the right edge of the touchcreen open the blue clamp push the plunger all the way into the syringe to return blood to the Venus chamber air infused into the Venus chamber will be removed by the automatic level regulation [Music] close the blue clamp and disconnect the [Music] syringe close the blue [Music] c deactivate patient care mode in case there is blood in the infusion Port of the Venus chamber connect a syringe filled with saline to the infusion Port activate patient care mode open the blue clamp inject a proxim o imately 10 to 15 mL of saline to return blood to the Venus chamber close the blue clamp and disconnect the [Music] syringe close the blue cap deactivate patient care [Music] mode loosen the effluent pressure line from the effluent ports slowly the Venus pressure displayed on the screen will decrease while the fluid level in the effluent chamber will increase tighten the effluent pressure line to the effluent Port once Venus pressure has fallen below 350 mm of mercury press reset alarm the blood pump will restart automatically check the fluid level in the effluent chamber ideally the chamber should be filled halfway if fluid level is too high or fluid has entered the pressure line it should be adjusted ensure the blood side and fluid side pumps are running press the level button on the screen use the spin button to decrease the fluid level in the effluent chamber ensure the level in the chamber is not too low as air in the effluent line may lead to false blood leak alarms [Music]
